Yeah, I've seen *exactly* the same thing. We all had a big trackdown
over that at the mirror a couple months ago. Though this only shows
itself when using squid, Robert Collins claims that its actually a
bug in libneon. 

Rather than try and figure out how to solve the problem, I unset
/http_proxy/i and forgot about it.
